President Buhari was pleased with Joshua’s candour and praised him for making Nigeria proud.

It will be recalled that Joshua regained the WBA, IBF, and WBF titles after defeating Andy Ruiz last December in a highly anticipated fight called ‘The Clash of the Dunes’, joining boxing greats like Mohammed Ali, Lennox Lewis as a two-time champion.

  1. You’ve been a brilliant boy, well cultured and highly intelligent. I vividly remember meeting you & your mum Yeta at auntie Titilola place in Dulwich London back in 2002. Your gentle conduct, whilst your sister was rebellious, demonstrated your potential for great future. So l’m least surprised that you’ve achieved a lot. Take care.

  2. There is a Yoruba aphorism which in translation goes: it is better to die than to prostrate for a Hausa/Fulani man. Therefore in the eyes of fundamentalist Yoruba like my self, Anthony Joshua has humiliated him self. No true Yoruba man will have any respect for him and more.
